Through Sleepers.
With a view of improving traveling
conditions between Richmond and Hlr
mlngham, Ala., as well as all Inter?
mediate points, President Pililey an?
nounced yesterday that beginning on
November 26, the Keysville local, leav?
ing Richmond at 6 P. M., will run
through direct to Danville, where la
?wjill connect twlfch the kllrmlngham
special from New. York. Sleeping cars
handled out of Richmond on tho south?
bound local will be attached to train
29 at Danville, and will go through
direct to Birmingham without change.
Similar service will ho established
northward, the Birmingham sleeper ar?
il-, lug hero at Vtl) A. M.
This change will not only give an
evening train to DanvlllO and a litt?

ing from local points, hut It will pro?
vide batter communication between
Richmond. Danville, tlreensboro, Salis?
bury. Charlotte. Greenville, S. C, At?
lanta and lilrmlngliain. Heretofore
the night trip out of Richmond for
points South has been below the South?
ern's usual standard for tho reason
that passengers had to change cars lit
Danville or Greensboro at a very un?
satisfactory hour in the morning. In
the same way conditions northbound
\ycro not Ideal, there being no through
sleepers between Atlanta and Rich?
mond. There is n good Pullman ser

hut it does not extend beyond the lat?

PHRENOLOGIST IS ON SCENE
Wants to Examine Beattie's
Plead?Governor Gets Sun?
dry Confessions.
Wliilc tho proposition that it takes
all Eorts of people to malic up a world
is a U'utstu, It Is equally a fact that
sonic of tho Interesting types do not
appear until a horrible crime has been
committed. Richmond Is having tho
first experience in some years of deal?
ing with new specimens.
Not only Is the Governor being still
deluged with letters regarding the
disposition of the case of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., but somo people have
conic to the city, attracted by the ap?
proaching Hnal horrors of tho tragedy
which has claimed the attention of the
civilized world.
Cumc From l-'lorldn.
As Judge James Keith, president of
the Supreme Court of Appeals, was
leaving the State Library building just
after tho adjournment of the court
early yesterday afternoon, ho was ac?
costed by a woman who eugugud him
in conversation in tho main corridor.
She said she had come from Florida
to help Beattie. Judge Kolth told her
that the whole matter had gone out of
Ids hands, the court having taken Its
filial action liiBt Monday.
A resident of South Carolina, claim?
ing to bo an expert phrenologist, has
shown up both nt the Capitol and at
Statu Penitentiary. Ills only aim, lie
says, is ?o make a scientific exami?
nation of the head of the prisoner. It
Is the theory of his lllc that the char?
acter of the individual is Indicated i
by 'the scalp. Taking for granted I
that Beattie is guilty, if his head
should show the results expected by
the science of phrenology, that science
would lie strengthened just to this
extent.
The penitentiary officials declined to
permit this scientist, who says he ls|
also a railroad man, to sec Beattie.
He then went to the Governor's office,
but with no better success, and his
examination Is entirely unlikely to be
made.
Some Freak Letter?.
Practically all of the letters re?
ceived by the Governor are totally]
sentimental and contain no clement;
or reason, -omc of the writers crltl- j
else him for his refusal to Interfere
with the ju jgmenl of the courts; other |
commend him. One only attempts to
argue the case, and In doing so allows
his ignorance of the subject by saying
that Judge Walter A. Watson, in his
Humming up. indicated that Beattie
was tiot guilty. As u matter of fact,
judges in Virginia do not sum up.
Besides, nobody doubts Judge Wat?
son's linn conviction of Beattie's guilt.
Sundry confessions have been re?
ceived by the Governor since the mur?
der, the writers saving they them?
selves shot Mrs. Beattie to death
With singular, unanimity nf careless?
ness, however, these individuals for?
get to sign their names. The motives
set forth are varied and hip lily di?
verting.
Penitentiary officials are exceeding?
ly careful In tho matter of giving out
information concerning Bcattlo's life
in the death cell. They do ihm con?
sider it a proper subject for general
discussion. ,llo is, however. In good
health, and dally receives visits from
members of his Immediate famil> and
from his spiritual udvlser.

Positions.
MATTER BEFORE LEE CAMP
Portrait of Senator Daniel Will
Be Formally Presented
Next Month:
otnte oflleials. notably Auditor S. R.
Oonolioc and Register of the Land
Office John W. Richardson, havo re?
fused to comply with tho resolution
of tho last Legislature to the elTect
that Confederate veterans should be
given the preference In appointments
to minor positions, according to state- *
tnents made last night before Leo
Camp by Captain John A. Curtis, a
mombor of the Richmond delegation
In the General Assembly Captain Cur.
tls asserted that Colonel Richardson
had "flatly refused" to name votcrans
to small places on the Capitol force,
over which he 'has control as super?
intendent of public grounds nnd build?
ings.
"I hud that resolution passed by the
Legislature," snld Captain Curtis. "It
provides that when vacancies occur In
.small offices preference shall be given
to men who fought In the armies or!
navies of the Confederate States. I|
have, been to Mr. Richardson more;
than once, and nskod him to give cm- j
ploymcnt to veterans who needed the j
places and who could have tilled them, j
but he has refused. To-day 1 saw a
young man from Nottoway coiinty,
about twenty-two years old, running
the elevator in the Stale Library.
Tale of n tHork.
"You will remember when John Jack?
son was appointed franchise clerk In
Hie Auditor's oflice. lie was from
Richmond?the Third District When
he died suddenly, 1 went to the Au?
ditor ami asked that u Confederate
soldier be put there, but was told
the o.Uce must go to tho Second Dis?
trict. Mr. Trehy.recommended a young
n.nn named Stein, and when his health
broke down a few months ago, I again
tried to get a veteran In, but instead
It was given to u friend of Governor
Mann. I understand, from Roanoke.
"I think this camp should take somo
action in an effort to have these State
Officials, heads of departments, com?
ply With the resolution of the Gen
em 1 Assembly. The protest ought to
be made now. just before the Legis?
lature meets, und just before the time
when most of these people arc chosen."
Captain J. Taylor St rat ton, adjutant
of the camp, gave some sage advice
from the depths of his experience. "I
have noticed," said ho, "that when on
office Is to be tilled by the City Coun?
cil or n committee, the man with the
most influence behind him wins. The
lellow who does the work at the polls
sluixls the best show. If un Elk wants
anything, and If Iiis order irels behind
him. he is likely to win. This camp
has to-day .'101 members. If they
insist iipon a show for the Confederate
veteran, they can exert a force."
The mutler was left with the em?
ployment committee.
Next Portrait In Daniel's.
Colonel w. B. Freeman, from the
portrait committee, reported that a J
picture of tho late Senator .lohn W. i
Daniel hud been donuted by friends In
Lynchburg, where a comrade raised
the necessary fund in a few minutes.
The portrait has been approved by the
committee. and arrangements aro
being made for Its formal presenta?
tion to the camp, probably on some
night in December.
The camp decided lo disinter the
body of T. Brltton. a member of the
torpedo battery, which did such exe?
cution against Federal gunbuats In
the .lames. Ho was killed and hurled
about eight miles helow Richmond,
on the Chesterfield side. Dr. Archer,
of the county, attended him and mark?
ed the gra^e. Nearly fifty years later
the camp will remember his deeds by
removing the body to Holly wood, beside
those or thouaunds who died for the
tame cause.

The fuel that the Ninth Congres?

shown by the oniclal figures, filed in
the Office of th?- Secretary of the Com

alone In which ther,. were, direct lights
between the parties, and using the
vote for candidates for the House of
Delegates as a basis, it Is seen that
the Democratic majority whs 431. This
does not Include tho throe counties
of Bland, Giles and Pulaakl, where
the Democratic nominees for the
House had no opposition, i minting
these, l/ie tnajorltv for the parly was

The fairest basis probably to reach
a conclusion as to the result is to
take the ten counties referred (o ni
to ndd tho normal Democratic ma?
jorities in the remaining three. Put?
ting this at 300 In Olle?, 300 In Pu?
laskl and a tie In Bland, a majority
for the Democrats In the November

It is Improbable that the election of

has no Idea of going Into that matter

When the matter Is taken up Major
James B. Wood will be re-cleciod su?

has not at any time been any doubt
of tils re-election of Major Wood.
Referring to Hie rumor of the pos?
sibility of the election of R. II. Penn.

prison. It is known that the relations
between Mr. Penn und Major Wood

Change in Road Congress Program by Commit?
tee Eliminates Big Event at City Auditor?
ium?Convention Folk Hard at Work.
Ono chance was made yesterday In
